Sarah Paulson wears dollar bill over her eyes to call out the ‘One Percent.’ The actress, who is worth an estimated $12 million, used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while attending the $100,000 per person Met Gala.

@Gene76244311 @Infidel1970 @OliLondonTV Wow you tried real hard to cleverly insult me. Pretty sure he didn’t specify globally or domestically. And what does whites have to do with anything? Take your white supremacist bs elsewhere. 40k is barely livable in the US currently, that’s not up for debate.

@techmudder @MattH_4America Russia, North Korea, China, all have nukes. Have they attacked the US yet? Bigger question, why are humans so stupid that we waste time and resources trying to kill each other? Get off your high horse and look at the bigger picture. Iran was never a threat.

@matth_4america Spoken like a true brain-rotted, isolationist zoomer who gets all his foreign policy from TikTok and thinks the world is a safe space because he’s under 45. Iran wasn’t ‘never going to nuke America’, they were sprinting toward it. IAEA confirmed 60%+ enriched uranium (near weapons-grade), enough material for multiple bombs, ICBM development on deck, and 47 straight years of official state chants ‘Death to America’ while their proxies killed U.S. troops, attacked our bases, and tried to shut the Strait of Hormuz. They just got hammered in the Feb-Mar 2026 strikes precisely because they were that close and destabilizing the entire region (spiking your gas prices). Ceasefire happened because they got wrecked, not because they were harmless. ‘Those of us under 45 don’t give a fuck about Netanyahu or Israel’? That’s not edgy rebellion, kid, that’s dangerously stupid. Iran calls Israel the Little Satan and America the Great Satan. Your apathy doesn’t make the threat vanish; it invites the next attack. Turn off the copium, get some actual fresh air, and read a goddamn history book before you lecture boomers. Pathetic.

@JohnMTillman @naval @ZohranKMamdani You still run this tired playbook that Mamdami is going run all the billionaires out of NY. What type of society do you ppl really want? Can you even answer that question? The cracks are showing in the economy, and working Americans don’t care about billionaires.

John Tillman@JohnMTillman·
Watching @ZohranKMamdani's oafish, unprovoked attack on Ken Griffin blow up in his face in real time tells us so much about how contemporary leftism has been reconfigured by its elite practitioners. Firstly, Mamdani is not a "have-not." He is a Bowdoin graduate, the son of a Columbia professor and an internationally celebrated filmmaker, whose path to a New York City mayoralty ran through exactly the credentialed-creative pipeline that produces most of his voters. His base is not the working class. It is the downwardly mobile but college-educated, who were promised a particular kind of life by their degrees and are furious it didn't arrive, and who have decided the people standing between them and that life are not the radicalized professors who sold them seductive fictions or the ideologically captured universities that took their money, but a hedge fund manager in Miami. This is what I'd call Privilege Populism. The aesthetics of class struggle, performed by people whose parents or grandparents technically already won the class struggle, but with the appropriated symbolism recast in the direction of people who won it slightly more. It is war between the "haves" versus "have-mores," as some others have put it. The Mamdani's inciting video, gleeful in its innumeracy about about whether a $500 million pied-à-terre tax can actually fund anything it claims to, defiant in its ignorance about the dynamic effects of such taxation on human behavior and wealth outmigration, is the genre's mature form. Griffin's response is the part worth watching. He didn't argue or issue a statement offering a philosophical defense of capitalism. He simply pointed to his Miami construction project and said: this is the way. Then he said the part that should make every blue-state mayor uncomfortable: that what's happening in New York is "triggering the trauma I went through in Chicago." I watched that trauma play out for twenty years. Progressive politicians perform to excite the grievances and resentments of credentialed creatives, the productive class that subsidizes the city quietly relocates, the tax base hollows out, and the people who stay behind look at the resulting societal decline around them and misinterpret it as proof that they must vote even further to the left than before in order to improve things. In a warped but unignorable way, liberal mismanagement of states like Illinois and New York helped nurse the conservative governance triumphs of Florida and Texas. The Privilege Populists never figure this out, because the point is never truly to improve the lives of the "have-nots." It's to *perform* therapeutic acts of Resistance for them, on camera, against "villains" who can afford to leave and do.

Today I put $85 worth of fuel in the van, and it barely moved over the half tank mark. Then I spent $450 on two carts worth of groceries. Now, tonight, I hear elected Republicans telling me the price of gas and groceries is dropping. Are folks really dumb enough to believe this?

The fact that Iran doesn’t preemptively strike the US, Israel and its Gulf Arab allies at this juncture is beyond me. There is no ceasefire—the US blockade is an act of war which nullifies any agreement that may have been in place. Moreover, the social media posts of a commander in chief clearly signaling aggressive intent makes preemptive legal under Article 51 of the UN Charter, citing clearly established preemption precedence. The United States is not only led by war mongers and war criminals. We are led by the most ignorant military leaders in history. Who believe their self-induced testosterone laced fantasies over the harsh fact-based truths of reality. Not only will the US lose any future conflict with Iran. We will deserve to lose. Removing the Trump/Hegseth/Bessant/Rubio cabal is necessary for the survival of our Constitutional Republic.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9 He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee “In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.” He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience” How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@GGrajab @davidpattersonx Couldn’t agree more, look at the writings of Curtis Yarvin and Peter Theil, they don’t give a fuck about society as a whole and will gladly eliminate any sections of it that they deem “useless”. Same with Musk. These people are racist, and extremely narcissistic.

Thanks for making concrete, measurable predictions. It shows a degree of confidence most AI hype lacks, and that you've given the matter some thought. Some questions. Who will have authority over the AI infrastructure? How will the abuse of that authority be constrained? What will those with authority over the AI gain from an expensive non-productive population who seem to bring them no advantage while consuming vast resources? Assuming AI is as powerful as you propose, what will prevent those in power from seizing that power, under the guise of protecting the public, and use it to further their own power? I admit a more sinical view of humanity, especially those in power. IMO, far too many of our powerful elites are high functioning sociopaths who seek to live off of the backs of others. I suspect they will opt to 'thin the herd' as a more deterministically controllable option, AI, proves viable rather than provide us with income. Most will dismiss this concern, but I submit that such is a failure of imagination. Projection hinders their ability to see this possibility and intentionally thinking through these changes from the perspective of a sociopath would be disturbing and unpleasant, something few would do without necessity. I suggest that it is a necessity. For those unfamiliar, remove empath, compation, and connection from your thinking. Imagine civilization as an orchard which produces food. If a better means of getting food came along, why would you maintain the orchard?

There will be four stages in the economic transition to a post-labor, post-scarcity economy. In the first stage, AI will more than double economic output. Many people will lose their jobs, but most will find new work, and real incomes will more than double. Some people will leave the workforce, either by retiring early or by receiving unemployment benefits. (AI implementation stage. 2026 to 2029) In the second stage, AI and robots will exceed the abilities of all human workers and will expand quickly to replace all remaining jobs. Everyone who becomes unemployed will receive universal high income (UHI) payments. (Full unemployment stage. 2030) In the third stage, the economy will continue to grow rapidly, as the quantity and quality of human labor will no longer limit growth. UHI payments will be extended to all adults, and their value will grow tenfold as prices drop rapidly with increasing production. (Continuing economic expansion stage. 2030 to 2035). In the fourth stage, economic output will continue to grow, reaching 100 times current output. UHI will be worth 100 times the current average salary. The demand for most products and services will reach a maximum beyond which people don't need or want any more. We will have reached post-scarcity for most things. Most people will not use their full UHI allowance. We may switch to an economy without UHI, where everything is given away for free. (Post-scarcity transition. 2035 to 2040)

The bull thesis just got validated. In a single afternoon. Meta. Microsoft. Amazon. Alphabet. All four reported. All four delivered. The numbers tell the story: $MSFT Azure +40% — beat the high end of guidance. AI business now a $37B run rate, +123% YoY. Copilot crossed 20 million paid seats. $GOOGL Cloud +63% to $20B. Backlog of $460 billion. Pichai called enterprise AI "the primary growth driver of cloud for the first time." $AMZN AWS +28% to $37.6B — the fastest growth in 15 quarters. Amazon reaffirmed $200B in capex for the year. $META +33% revenue growth — the fastest since 2021. And they raised full-year capex guidance to $125–$145B. The deceleration narrative is dead. The "AI capex is speculative" narrative is dead. The "where's the AI revenue" narrative is dead. This was the prove it quarter. They proved it. What we saw tonight is durable, compounding cloud demand, accelerating AI monetization, and a capex cycle being underwritten by signed customer commitments, not optimism. Sorry bubble bears. 🐻 This isn't 1999. Real customers. Real revenue. Real cycle. The companies investing in AI infrastructure today are buying the most valuable real estate of the next decade and tonight they showed exactly why. Buckle up. We're just getting started.

The average IQ in Haiti: 67-82 The average IQ in Somalia: 68-72 The average IQ in Afghanistan: 75-83 Welfare use for non-citizen Haitian households: 65% Welfare use for Somali households: 81% Welfare use for non-citizen Afghan households: 87% Perhaps we are not importing the best and brightest. This is what I asked Rep. Brandon Gill about. "That’s the problem. And perhaps there’s a link between this and the welfare usages that you see from migrants in many countries." "Whenever you bring in a population who largely has not really interacted with what we would consider the modern American world and the modern American economy, they have a hard time staying afloat. And the result is that they become a net drain economically on the rest of the society." Gill also says it's common sense that these immigrants learning alongside American students hurts the quality of their education. He's absolutely right. We need more Congressmen who aren't afraid to speak the truth.
